The Mustang Nero's charisma lies in its charming, eclectic furnishings: little vintage artifacts sitting on an old timber table, next to a taxidermied animal, contrasted by a forested backdrop of plants, within a repurposed black building.

Against this setting you will find friendly hosts - they include some affable cats and dogs - who accommodate you with your requests for directions, ensuring your room is cleaned, book taxis, and cook the most delightful breakfasts.

The room itself is very well equipped, with standard amenities like towels, a refrigerator, a kettle, and cable television. The bed is more than decent with adequate pillows; I got a good rest out of every night.

The hotel is located just a stone's throw away from the Phra Khanong BTS station; if all else fails, it isn't too difficult to find the place with Google Maps. Ample parking is available if you drive.

If you have a chance to stay here, look out for the quaint little market space under the bridge after Soi 48, towards the direction of On Nut. You can also find a variety of street hawkers selling snacks along Soi 48 in the daytime - try the khanom bueang!
